**Manufacturing Strategy Project Manager** | Jaipur | Hybrid | INR 6.8-28.0 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Project Management (Manufacturing), under the Manufacturing vertical
- Level: mid level
- Reports to the functional head for Project Management (Manufacturing)
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core project management (manufacturing) activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Safety Compliance regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**

**Good to know:**
- Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
- The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
- Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
- Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
- Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
- Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process.
- Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
- The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
- Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
- Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
